Its useful to note, that citizens do not always have the required amount. Then they can sell the car and pay tax on the amount received.. If the payment terms are "hot", then it is allowed to apply to car pawnshops. There, employees will quickly assess the cost of the car and offer up to 90% from market value.

Where tickets are printed and why they cannot be faked
The state-owned enterprise Loteria Nationala Moldovei refused to answer NM's questions about, how do they rate the restart of the lottery after the arrival of a private partner, how many lottery tickets were sold after that and who can be called the main “consumer” of the lottery. The GP referred to a trade secret, but promised to present to the public a plan for the development of the lottery in the near future.
The private partner NGM Company was more talkative. There reported, that the lottery involves “people of all ages, social status, nationality, religion, etc. ", adding, that the only limitation is age: the participant must be at least 18 years. The company considers the restart of the lottery successful, explaining the active participation of the population in it with unheard-of gains. “In Moldova, we heard about such winnings only from news about lotteries in European and other countries.. Now the European model has become possible in Moldova too ", - noted in NGM Company, assuring, that the activities of Loteria Nationala Moldovei today are "absolutely transparent".
They also told, that tickets for the lottery are printed by the British company Scientific Games, which prints such tickets for Italy, Spain and USA. Forge a lottery ticket, as they say in NGM Company, impossible, since the payment of the winnings occurs after verification using software. На старте случались попытки подделать билеты, but they quickly stopped, added to the company.
How many lottery tickets have been sold since the restart of the national lottery, the company refused to speak, как и в Loteria Nationala Moldovei. But reported, that the total prize fund of all issued tickets exceeds 300 million lei.
NGM Company also did not answer the question about the terms of ticket distribution, citing confidentiality agreements with stores, by mail, etc..
Lotto Agent: pros and cons
Overall, the dealer leaves a good impression. He has great potential: for 7 years service has become one of the market leaders, and in 10-15 years it will reach even greater heights.
Reviews about Lotto Agent are also mostly positive., which means that customers trust the service.
pros:
- relatively low ticket prices
- replenishment of an account with cards of Russian banks
- good website and application service
- the ability to play from anywhere in the world
- prompt Russian-language support 24/7
- minimum order from 1 fields
- frequent discounts and promotions
- loyal partner
Minuses:
- there are not many draws yet, like the famous The Lotter
- no syndicates
The disadvantages are more likely related to the young age of the company: to come to an agreement with a large number of partners and build such a complex system, as a syndicate, takes a lot of time. Hopefully, Lotto Agent will soon fix these flaws and get even better.
How to reduce tax on winnings
You can not pay tax, if the amount is small. FTS employees are unlikely to be interested in a citizen, который заработал 10 000 rubles, несмотря на необходимость совершения оплаты с 4 000 rubles. But when you receive a large sum of money or a valuable prize, whose cost exceeds 4 thousand rubles, do not shy away from having to pay.
Reducing the amount of tax is allowed. for example, когда гражданин выиграл 97 000 rubles, то налоговая база будет с 93 000 rubles, as 4 000 рублей идут взаимозачетом.
Appraisal of an apartment by an employee of an appraisal company
There is another way to lower your payment, if a valuable prize is won. So, you need to contact the appraisal company. Telling the situation in advance, an employee can underestimate the real cost of the object. But strong understatement is not allowed. for example, if the apartment is worth 4 million rubles, then really indicate after the survey, that its market price is 10% below. I.e 3,6 million rubles. If you underestimate more, then this may cause suspicion among the employees of the Federal Tax Service. At the same time, the price for the company's services may slightly increase.
Understatement of real value
In this way, save on taxes is acceptable, if you know, where to go and how to count correctly.
You need to pay tax before 15 July next year. I.e, winning the lottery 30 December, payment is required next year before the indicated date.
Payment of tax
What do we end up with?
The conclusion suggests itself, where did the prejudice come from, that the citizens of the CIS are denied access to foreign draws. Most likely, players are confused by the rules, listed on the official sites of lottery companies, which, In most cases, cannot sell tickets to their games on the world wide web, since it is forbidden by the founders. However, this taboo was not created against foreigners, but against violating the Constitution of his country and preventing the company from abusing its capabilities.
But that doesn't mean at all, that you cannot use the services of an intermediary. You just need to find a reliable intermediary site and you can consider it a “colleague”, who is on vacation abroad and you simply asked him to go to the store for a ticket and milk. You have the right to drink milk., brought by a colleague? However, you will not be surprised, if the question on the website of a dairy farm “Can I buy a liter of milk from you?, I'm from the CIS?”, the representative will refuse you, explaining this by, that does not cooperate with other countries.
So if you're an adult (and for some lotteries it is enough and 16 years, eg, Еuromillions), you can participate in foreign lotteries. Sometimes, true, there are some situations - some of the countries have individual rules and require the registration of the document data, which only citizens can have. But, often, this goes for those lottery companies, who have the ability to sell tickets for raffles using the Network in their country.
In our case, intermediaries purchase tickets to the cafe for you, shops, at gas stations, in other retail outlets. That is why this rule does not play any role..
Let's hope, that you have no more doubts! Play safely, take risks and collect your winnings!
